I for one, did not miss Your shadow as it crossed between The two horizons that Would seem to me an Apparition of the past, yet I knew You not well my fellow prisoner of All that would hold us close and Yet keep us strangers apart For fear of a future that dwells in the past Can only have meaning for those That would not choose to live for Today So you came to me, not readily, but With a heavy heart that bore The consequences of a life gone by And once again you chose the path of Lonely existence for history would Forever be your reticence, so like The lonely Wolf You vanished as you appeared, and yet I would sense the sadness of your soul But I would always whisper adieu For some things are not for the capturing And must remain Forever blossom on the wind

For a future that is as brilliant as the sun, so true, for a free spirit cannot be chained, no matter how subtley.....I wish you all the best my friends, whatever, you will both be forever in my heart....Andrew...xxx
